I dug out a thicker pair of sweat pants and wore my windbreaker today,

scarf and the linen scarves, but I've yet to break out the silk and
the wool.

I haven't completely broken the habit of drying my hands on my clothes
-- a damp jersey isn't as desirable as it was in August. I *have*
acquired the habit of making sure I have plenty of paper napkins and
paper towels to blow my nose on.

I was gratified that the hills on 350 S aren't as steep as I
remembered them. Perhaps I haven't been neglecting exercise as much
as I thought.

The problem is that even in very cold weather you sweat like a horse when climbing. And then you cover your glasses completely over with sweat and it gets in your eyes and burns like the devil.

I went up a 16% grade yesterday because there was a rest stop at the top. That allowed me to wash everything off. Then on the coast downhill at 10% I was fast enough to stay ahead of the traffic and with bright colors on the side traffic couldn't make out what I was.

Then it got hot and I had the worst of all possible worlds.
